Touchstone of Love, A Time Travel Romance Novella by Beth Barany

Let me welcome my special guest
Beth Barany. You'll remember her visit from a few weeks ago where she
introduced us to her Christmas novella A Christmas Fling. The book has been generating rave reviews and Beth is back this
week with information about Touchstone of Love, her time travel romance novella. Isn't that a fabulous cover! I simply
adore time travel stories ever since I read the Outlander series, which, by the way, is in production for Starz
with a 2014 debut. Can't wait!

And I can’t wait to read Touchstone of Love.
So here’s a blurb and a couple of reviews for the book:

A time-travel romance by award-winning novelist, Beth
Barany.

When a thunderstorm transports software expert
Rose Waldman to thirteenth century France, she meets hunky stonemason Julien,
who is secretly creating a gargoyle in defiance of his master mason. Can
independent gadget loving Rose trust her life and heart to Julien, and can she
really never go home again?

"...a unique take on gargoyles which I
thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend!" -- Karysa Faire

"...The story was really romantic and the
two of them together are just pure magic. It is rare that I find a couple
rather than a single character really making a story worthwhile, but this one
does just that." -- Kathy Horseman

"... recommend this novella to anyone who
is looking for an entertaining read for the night or weekend." -- Lisa

Based in Oakland, California, Beth Barany writes
magical tales of romance and adventure to transport readers to new worlds where
anything is possible. In her off hours, Beth enjoys capoeira, travelling, and
watching movies with her husband, bestselling author Ezra Barany, and playing
with their two cats, Kitty and Leo.

Beth, I still don’t know what capoeira is! So, folks, I looked
it up. Isn’t the internet fabulous! I got this off Wikipedia: a Brazilian martial art that combines
elements of dance, acrobatics, and music, and is sometimes referred to as a game. Wow, sounds very interesting!
